Canadian solar panels review 2025

Solar Panel Reviews / May 5, 2025

Canadian Solar Panels Review 2025 Hey guys, it’s Alan Kemp here again! Today, I’m diving into something we all know pretty well in Australia – Canadian solar panels. Yep, you’ve probably heard the name tossed around a lot, but let’s see if they’re really all that “Canadian” after all. Spoiler alert: not so much. Are Canadian Solar Panels Really “Canadian”? So, here’s the deal. You hear “Canadian Solar” and might think you’re getting a maple syrup-powered piece of tech, but that’s not exactly the case. The brand was actually started by a Chinese guy who spent a short time in Canada back in 2001. While living there, he kicked off the company with ties back to China’s solar manufacturing. Smart guy, right? But the reality is, these panels are made in China. They’re Tier 1 solar panels like Trina or Jinko. So, how Canadian are Canadian Solar Panels? Well,….

HYDROGEN PRIME MOVER and BUS

Alternative Energy / April 12, 2025

I took one look and said, “What in the Mad Max is this thing?” By Alan Kemp – CEO, QLD Solar & LightingTyped with Expo dust still on my boots and a half-warm beer in hand Just rolled back into Brisbane after the 2025 Sydney Solar & Energy Expo, and I’m still buzzing — and not just from the EMFs. I went down expecting the usual: sales guys pretending to be engineers, $4000 solar batteries that won’t last past the first footy season, and startups trying to sell you a “blockchain-enabled garden tap.” But instead, I saw the future of heavy transport. It was big. It was loud-looking. It was weirdly quiet.It was shaped like something Elon Musk would dream up after watching The Terminator and drinking three litres of hydrogen-infused kombucha. And somehow — I was into it. First Impressions: Snout Energy So I’m walking along, thinking about….

The Doctor Who Believes Free Natural Energy Can Heal Water—and People

Alternative Energy / April 11, 2025

“Now this guy wants to talk about real smart energy… must be semen retention.” That was the throwaway line I muttered in the coffee queue at the Sydney Smart Energy Expo. One of those off-the-cuff cracks you make to no one in particular when the conversation around you starts getting a little too cosmic, too quickly. Except someone did hear me. The older gent standing ahead of me—neatly dressed, calm, silver-haired—turned with a smile that said, “I’ve heard that one before.” “Some would say that’s where real energy starts,” I said, deadpan. His name was Dr. John Martin. I wasn’t joking, and he knew it. He wasn’t there to talk about solar panels or carbon credits. He wasn’t pitching a startup. He didn’t even have a lanyard. He was at the Smart Energy Expo to talk about something that’s rarely, if ever, discussed at a Renewable-energy tech conference: “I came….

Batteries for the Rich? As renters are Scammed – A Solar CEO Reflects on Labor’s Latest Rebate

Solar Battery Storage / April 11, 2025

2025 Labor Battery Rebate Scam The 2025 Smart Energy Conference in Sydney kicked off with all the fanfare you’d expect from an industry on the rise. New booths. New tech. New money. And politics, of course. The federal government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program was the centrepiece — a headline-grabbing announcement dropped by Labor’s Energy Minister on a Sunday morning, then brought to life the following day in a packed hall filled with installers, suppliers, and solar executives like myself. It opened with a Welcome to Country — a gesture of respect that’s become standard at public events — and then, without missing a beat, delivered the government’s big election-season offering: a national rebate to get batteries into Australian homes. It landed exactly as intended. The room burst into applause. Smiles all round. Media took notice. And yet, behind the handshakes and excitement, a harder question lingered in the air —….
